Egg firms hatch people power plan

RIVERVIEW EGGS, which is based in Watergrasshill, Co Cork, is part of a major national campaign by the egg sector to invest in people power.

Nearly 30 egg firms, all members of the Irish Egg Marketing Association, have united to invest in the skills development of their workforce and themselves as business operators.

As a sector, the companies employ 300 people directly and work closely with a large number of sub-contractors and suppliers in the supply, grading, packing and marketing of eggs.
